Did having to explain the definition of the word after have you also feeling aglet?

No worries, we're all trying to make it through the best we can and I didn't feel anything adversarial in your critique, just a desire for you and your fellow worker to be treated with dignity in their labor

That's fair. I meant cost as in cost to me, the consumer, which is the price, but I think what you've said here is a valuable thing to consider when wondering why it's so expensive and yet shit now.

The feeling bad part is aging.

Quality has absolutely gone down, though, while cost has gone way up.

It's not quite as convenient, but I switched to making popcorn in a wok. It's faster and way, WAY cheaper.

Can you give some more context for your question? It sounds like you might be replying to someone who just expressed a desire for something that you also want, but the specifics of the situation might make one reply feel more natural than another.

But based on nothing else, I'd say "I want that." Or "I want that, too." sounds natural to me, an East Coast American in the NYC area.

Also, looking at your posts, your English seems pretty natural, I wouldn't guess you're a non-native speaker reading what you write online. I can see some over-formality that I know to look for something deviant, but it's not immediately apparent.

If they come inside your house throw em some cash. I'd say $5 for bringing it in the door, $10 for putting it near where it's gonna be and $20 for placing it where it'll go and unwrapping/assembling it.

That's what I do, at least, no clue if these values are appropriate.

Goddamn right!!

The only thing I need on a screen is the GPS, everything else is an annoyance.

I tell you that you've misunderstood me and you're telling me "I disagree, I know what point you are trying to make"?

Oh boy, buddy, I need your thoughts and opinions like a hole in the head, good luck!

If that's the point you inferred from my post, you've grossly misread

If we truly live in a democratic state, shouldn't the onus of be on the candidate to capture the desires and will of the electorate and not the duty of the citizen to vote for the party?
